Often heard at off premise sites everywhere is: "The warehouse or kitchen forgot the… Fill in the blank." But it doesn't have to be so!

In this practical, information-packed give-and-take presentation, we'll examine together lean best practices for creating comprehensive error proof packing checklists; the "Lift Off" process for preparing accurate informative packing lists—including the seven critical questions that must be asked and answered before anything is packed.

Next, we'll go through the physical step-by-step process of packing error-free for off premise food and beverage events. This disciplined process is efficient, communicates well for delegation on site, and reduces errors associated with packing for events. The "mistakes to avoid" examples list is golden.

Get your needed materials, equipment, and food to the site on time, safely, organized undamaged and back to the warehouse-kitchen or creative partner.
